The minmax thing is what it is (and if it‘s your bag, then fine), but when it generates lopsided games where the guy doesn't even use it to come out on top, moreover incidentally win as the outmatched opponent is cleaned from the field, it has gone way too far for the sake of my enjoyment. And enjoyment is why I play.
